- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes (5" long), peeled if not organic 1 large white onion 3 cloves garlic1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 tablespoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon black pepper3/4 cup (6 ounces) skim milk 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the sweet potatoes and onions as thinly as possible. Chop the garlic. (Tip: I put them all through the food processor using the slicing blade.)
Spray a 9"x13" casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Layer on half of the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle on a third of the spices. Layer on the onions and garlic, followed by a third of the spices. Finally, layer on the rest of the sweet potatoes and the remaining spices. Pour on the milk, sprinkle on the hot sauce and top the casserole with the cheese.
Bake, covered, for 20 minutes, then remove the lid for another10 minutes. The vegetables should be tender, and the cheese should be starting to brown.
Make six 1-cup servings.

To make a smaller amount, I used 1 large sweet potato, sliced onions, 4 oz. milk, cumin, and chili powder, with onions and 1 oz. Tillamook cheddar on top (in a glass pie pan). I cooked it in the microwave first, then oven 20 min. 400 deg. The onions and cheese were crispy and yummy on top. - 12/30/12

Will canned sweet potatoes work as well for this? - 9/15/10

No, they need to be raw. If the sweet potatoes are canned, they'll already be too soft.

As many said, this recipe takes WAY longer than the directions, nearly double. While the spice mixture is tasty, the potatoes are watery and while I realize the intent is to cut down on calories, it lacks any level of creaminess you would hope for in this kind of dish. We didn't bother saving. - 9/4/12

LOVE it! Came out great, and I didn't even use all the ingredients (no coriander or hot sauce on hand, and used garlic powder instead of fresh). Did bake for 40 mins (not 20) and added cheese on each layer (not just top). Best recipe for sweet potatoes I've ever tried and will definitely make again! - 8/14/12

I won't be making this again. They tasted really good (I used herbes de provence, thyme and garlic seasoning) but the baking time was much longer and the top layer was all dried out and the milk just ended up being a puddle at the bottom of the pan. Baking longer may help but it would be even drier. - 8/8/11
